Imagine standing on the Day of Judgment, trembling in fear,
recalling your sins, regretting lost opportunities and dreading your fate.
Visualize the horror as the scrolls are laid bare and your deeds are about to
be read out. Try and feel that horrible sinking feeling as your heart rises to
your throat and you get the feeling that you wish could have just one more
chance on this earth. There are no more chances – there was only shot at it,
and you’ve blown it.
Another scroll is opened. A list of names – the names of
those upon whom Allah will bestow His mercy because they helped a Muslim in his
time of need. The first name is read out ... One by one the names are read out
in what seems like an eternity. As each name is read out, imagine waiting
anxiously and nervously, praying to hear your name. The list continues.
Paralyzed in fear, you stand waiting, petrified, with a voice inside you
screaming out ‘SAY MY NAME!’
The reading comes to an end.
100,000 names have been read out.
Yours was not.
Game Over.
Eternal regret
